Booking a table is highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
Cafe by Day, Mexican Restaurant by night – with the City’s most unique outdoor events area.
‘eat, drink and listen @ the QUARTER’
Who needs to go to Mexico to eat darn good Mexican food? Nobody! Here at the QUARTER where food is at the centre of all that we do and are passionate about, we bring a comprehensive and delicious selection of foods from around Mexico, some more famous than others, but all freshly cooked and prepared with the usual QUARTERly love.
Starting with small plates and entrees of soft taco, tostadas and chimichurri, plus the famous QUARTER nachos, to main dishes and specials of chimichanga, fajita, enchilada and quesadilla. Not forgetting the delectable jambalaya and spicy meatballs. Oh, and a few amazing sides along the way of sweet potato wedges, falafel, Mexican corn, guacamole and Pico De Gallo (there really is a dish for everyone!).
We are turning up the heat on freshly prepared Mexican food and complementing our extensive menu in the QUARTER on Piccadilly with a new and exciting dining experience. If you like a good taco, a spicy burrito, or some fried chimichurri, you will love what we have got to offer. Alongside these delicious foods, we will have an array of cocktails and drinks to cool that palate and have you wanting more.
Join us at the QUARTER for your favourite tipple, be it alcoholic or not. Our bar selection incorporates a selection of beers and wines from around the world, some will be QUARTER staples and others may change depending on the season or trend. Our beers and ciders will tick the box for most and we have also had an exclusively brewed lager, called the Potbank Pilsner, a great sessional drink at a great price but with a good kick too. We have a selection of bottled beers for freshness and convenience, and our wines selected from high quality suppliers. Your comments on the selection will be greatly valued to ensure we have what you want each time you join us.
Spirits your thing? Then peruse our extensive gin menu for all your staples and those more extravagant flavours, topped with our beautiful Franklin and Son range of mixers. Now, a little secret, we also have a HUGE variety of Whiskey. Our aim is to become ‘Whiskey Central’ carrying at least 25 whiskeys from around the world for that end of night tipple or well-adjusted and experienced palate that enjoys quality, taste and class in a glass.
Alongside this we have an all-encompassing cocktail menu to suit all tastes with speciality and seasonal cocktails for every occasion. Our ‘fizz’ menu will give you a decadent choice of drink to share or to savour yourself. Pair one of our drinks with something equally tasty from our bar food menu for that perfect night out.
To complement the heritage, beauty and quality of the four walls we are now inhabiting, we have created a simple, tasty and well-rounded daytime café menu. If you are on a bus tour, a work lunch, a family trip out or just a quick catch-up with friends, we have you covered with some great, wholesome, homemade food. The phrase ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ is the ethos here.
Having a well-established breakfast, brunch and lunch menu at our flagship venue on Piccadilly, in the heart of the city’s cultural quarter, meant that we had a great base to start from. It is a little bit different and a little bit smaller but just as tasty, just as well made, and perfect for our Potbank venue. It is essentially a one-stop-shop for food, drinks (be it coffee or wine), atmosphere and heritage.
What more could you want? OK, it is also super family-friendly and we LOVE dogs, so bring them along and lunch with your pooch! We will have bowls, blankets, treats and ice-cream to keep them happy – the dogs, not the kids, that is! Our open fire, bespoke architecture and quirky interiors will make your lunchtime stop one to remember for all the right reasons. Booking is advised due to the high demand for dining and the reduced capacity guidelines to keep you and our staff safe.
Here at the QUARTER we want to have lots of different things to ‘listen’ to. Our live programme of performances will encapsulate the performing and creative arts, and provide a platform for local and non-local artists. Music of all genres will be celebrated; poetry, comedy, debate, radio, recorded music, the spoken word, conversation, sounds in any form will be showcased at the QUARTER. If you are a performer, know a performer or simply have an idea you want to share, then please contact us at the QUARTER. We will ‘listen’ to your ideas and help to bring them to life in our venue. We are passionate about the arts in all forms and want to be the preferred choice when it comes to intimate, quirky and diverse performance spaces in Stoke-on-Trent. Follow our ‘Events’ section to see who and what is performing at the QUARTER. ‘Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything’ (Plato).
In these challenging times we want to provide the safest environment possible for our guests both inside and out, we therefore have in place a reservation system for our events. To co-ordinate arrival times, manage capacity and keep all our team and guests safe we have an online booking system that means you can reserve your table and enjoy our live events with the knowledge that it is going to be safe. Should you want to ‘chance it’ and drop by then we do have a walk-up policy in place. In short, if we can fit you in safely then you’re welcome, if not then I am afraid we may have to ask you to wait on entry or come back another time. Either way we will endeavour to get as many folks in enjoying our entertainment. We know you understand, so thank you!
The potential at our Potbank site is endless with entertainment, it’s what we love and our desire to give the arts the very best platform we can to showcase talent, diversity and creativity in many forms is what shall become our unique point of difference within the city and farther afield.
